Thinking of taking a trip - would be close to an hour's journey to this outlet. Would hope to get the teenagers some bargains (superdry etc) and dh (clothes) too. Is it worth the trip? Is Whitewater (which seems close by) worth a trip too? Just realised how close the BIg Day is and how few day's off I have to shop between now and then. TIA

ds is very tall but very thin, so I really have no idea what size would fit him, think my brother has a superdry jacket so might try it on him to see, otherwise I think theres a shop in town that stocks superdry so I might bring him in there to try on some things to judge the sizes etc

Well, I ventured down today - was parked there by 8:30, so had no problems getting in. By 9:00 the car parks were starting to fill. I was outside Superdry by 8:50 - about 30 people behind me by the time the doors opened Cutesy, I was a little disappointed in the stock (although maybe because it was so busy yesterday), however, there wasn't much Large to be found in the ladies. My size 8 dd wears superdry Large! Coats and hoodies had loads of Medium and Small and even xs - but I think you'd have to be tiny to fit them. I got a coat and a hoodie - both for 80 so was really pleased with them. None of the other shops were anything crazy like Superdry - everywhere else was nice and relaxed but then I was leaving by 11 - by then the car park queues were out of control! Anyway, thanks for all the help and advise ladies, probably wouldn't have headed down without all your info and I definitely feel it was worth it.

Lol that is mad. I live in Kildare and wouldn't go near it on VIP weekend. Its sad though you would never see Garda on the streets but they are there for the shoppers who don't even live there! Hope the village are paying their bill!

I went today at 10am , 1st of all the que to come off the m7 was madness, police were directing the traffic all the way to the outlets, the. Trying to find a car space for a half hour, the shops were just madness, you couldn't even look properly because the people queuing around the shops wouldn't move out of the way afraid your trying to skip them, superdry was the worst, there was security letting people in, but he was allowing too many in at a time and the que was wrapping right around the shop I could look at anything, clotted were flung everywhere, the ground and all, people stepping all over them!! All I got was clarks boots for my little one and ck boxers for himself, just found it impossible to browse when the stops are taken over by people queing up. The rain did not put anyone off today! Benefit had nothing left on the shelves by the time I got up to it! And cat kidson shop the que wrapped all the way around the shop and out the door!! Never again it was carnage! You swear it was 70% the way some people were going on!!

Thanks for all the advice ladies. I think I'll definitely head down. I'll keep you updated Cutesy as to what I got. That is impressive Autumngirl - very handy to be able to exchange something more local than having to head off again. I'm not 100% sure if they do kids sizes Car123, my dd would be an adult 8-10 and she has a superdry hoodie that's Large! So I would have thought they run small. Gypsylee, if I think of any questions before Saturday, I'll drop you a line - thanks for that.

If you are going for the private sale go early, as early as possible. Have been on the weekends when the private sale is on and it is pure madness, it might not be as busy during the week if you were to go then, the private sale is on for a week.

I was also impressed that Superdry said if I needed to return anything receipt was valid until after Christmas (this was last month) and that any Superdry store would give me a credit note for the value on the receipt so didnt have to drive back to Kildare village to return them.

If you can, head to the whitewater too. Good h&m there, debenhams, Zara, tiger store for stocking fillers, pull and bear, new look, Stradivarius, river island. Really good penneys is just around the corner too.

I love it and go all the time, it's well worth the journey, the Calvin Klein shop is great, the underwear is a great bargain. I always buy in superdry, Kildare town is a five min drive away and they do a market on a Thursday so I usually go then to get to both. The market do terrific copies of the converse and superdry etc... A huge big tesco is just before the town also and they have a very big clothes section.

Hi, I was there a few weeks ago - new section not open yet but Superdry is really worth it if you want to buy Superdry stuff - I got a good few bits in there for my 2 eldest fellas. I like the Clarks shop myself for shoes and i got a good bit of stuff in L'Occitaine for teachers, friends daughter and lads girlfriends too....... Also you can pick up socks/boxers in tommy hillfiger/calvin klein etc. Sports shops - Nike and Asics a bit disappointing - they are more 'running' shops than sport - lots of trainers/running shoes if thats what you want. A good Under Armour shop too and Starbucks is new since I was last there! Dont hold your breath - the place isnt as good as you might imagine or as it sounds like it could be but deffo there are good prices to be had in Superdry especially.

My ds is big into Superdry and ive been a couple of times. He saw a superdry jacket in one of the shopping centres in Sept for 96,i got the same jacket in the outlet for 56 ! Def worth a trip if u've a few bits to get.Theres also Jack Wills and Nike apart from that i wouldnt be that bothered with the rest.Last time i was there they were due to open the new section of shops hth

Ye I would say it's worth a trip of you want super dry and stuff like that. Few trendy shops, and I have heard the opened 30 new shops. I'm not sure what brands. But say they could be good! Bring loads of cash tho haha!
